“They do say they have the most beautiful women in Hungary. I wouldn’t know that, but she’s certainly very pretty,” Becker replied.

I always thought that Tsongis had the hottest wife on tour:



but gotta go w/ Fucsovics on this one.

Btw, I'm convinced that this is why Dominic Thiem has crashed and burned this year:

This is nothing compared to ESPN repeatedly showing Katherine Webb, AJ McCarron girlfriend on NUMEROUS occasions. Katherine Webb is stunningly beautiful.

Saying somebody’s fiancee is very pretty? Where’s the supposed “sexism” in that?

Spare me the hypersensitive feminazi BS. There isn’t any. Its a compliment.

and yes, btw, Hungarian chicks are among THE very hottest on the entire planet. When I was an expat there every male expat loved the place, female expats not so much. LOL!
